Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of supporting structures for the production of fermented condiments, and in particular to a sampling device for a condiment fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Condiments refer to food products with a certain flavor or aroma. Some of these foods require fermentation during production. To enhance their unique flavor, some fermentation processes involve mixing multiple ingredients. During fermentation, the ingredients become viscous, forming a sauce mixture. To obtain information about the internal fermentation process, samples need to be taken at different stages. Existing sampling methods often use a sampling spoon to directly scoop samples, but this method cannot effectively extract samples from a specific point inside the fermentation tank. Some methods use pipette-type sampling structures, but these also cannot accurately and reliably extract samples from the target location and are prone to carrying samples from the top or surrounding areas. Furthermore, they are not suitable for extracting concentrated sauces. To improve the transmissibility and stability of the sampling, a sampling device for condiment fermentation tanks is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a sampling device for condiment fermentation tanks that offers high purity of sampled sauces, ease of operation, stable performance, and portability.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A sampling device for a seasoning fermentation tank includes: a connecting pipe, a feed pipe, a material through hole, a movable plug, a connecting rod, an end cap, a connecting plate, and a directional handle. The connecting pipe has symmetrically through-holes on both sides near its lower end. Both ends of the feed pipe are respectively connected to the through-holes near the lower end of the connecting pipe. The end of the feed pipe is flush with the outer surface of the connecting pipe. The material through hole is located on the upper surface of the feed pipe at its middle position. The movable plug is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe. The lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the movable plug. The end cap is fitted and connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe. The connecting rod passes through the middle of the end cap. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod. The directional handle is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting plate near one edge.

[0006] Optionally, it also includes a connecting sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the surface at the middle position of the upper and lower sides of the end cap, and the outer surface of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded groove, and the connecting rod is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes a bottom plug, which is fixedly connected to the middle position surface of the lower end of the movable plug, and the bottom plug is connected to the material through hole.

[0008] Optionally, a guide cone is also included, which is fitted and connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a gripping handle, which is fixedly connected to the surface at the middle position of the connecting disc.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes a scraper sleeve, which has a through hole in the middle and the edge of the through hole is bent downward, and the connecting pipe can slide through the middle of the scraper sleeve.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes connecting ears, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the scraper sleeve.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes scale lines, which are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the connecting rod near the upper end.

[0013] The sampling device for this condiment fermentation tank has a modular structure that allows it to be conveniently inserted into the sampling point during use. By pressing downwards, it effectively prevents material from entering through a section of gas carried inside. Furthermore, when it reaches the vicinity of the sampling location, it pushes out the gas carried at the lower end, further improving the accuracy of the sampling location.

[0014] The sampling device for this condiment fermentation tank has a threaded structure on the connecting rod, which can effectively handle materials with high viscosity during sampling, improving the convenience of sampling. In addition, a section of air will remain inside the feed tube before sampling, which facilitates the smooth entry of materials with high viscosity, meeting the actual needs of actual use scenarios.

[0015] The sampling device for this condiment fermentation tank is equipped with a scraping sleeve that can remove residual samples after sampling through the connecting tube, improving the cleanliness of the connecting tube surface after sampling. It is easy to operate and has good application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] To better understand the technical solutions presented in the embodiments of this application, the working principle of the existing seasoning fermentation tank sampling device will first be introduced.

[0023] Existing sampling structures mostly use sampling pipettes to extract materials. However, due to the high viscosity of the materials, they are sometimes difficult to extract. This necessitates the use of sampling structures with pumps. However, due to the varied application scenarios, sampling devices with pumps are cumbersome to use and have poor continuous performance. Therefore, manual sampling is more suitable. However, existing sampling structures are prone to carrying sauce samples out of the sampling point and cannot handle highly viscous samples. To solve these problems, the design solution proposed in this application is proposed.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 This application discloses a sampling device for a seasoning fermentation tank, comprising: a connecting pipe 1, a feed pipe 2, a material passage hole 3, a movable plug 4, a connecting rod 5, an end cap 6, a connecting plate 7, and a directional handle 8. The connecting pipe 1 has symmetrically through-holes on both sides near its lower end. The two ends of the feed pipe 2 are respectively connected to the through-holes near the lower end of the connecting pipe 1. The end of the feed pipe 2 is flush with the outer surface of the connecting pipe 1. The material passage hole 3 is through-holes on the upper surface of the feed pipe 2 at the middle position. The movable plug 4 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 1. The lower end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the movable plug 4. The end cap 6 is fitted and connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe 1. The connecting rod 5 passes through the middle of the end cap 6. The connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 5. The directional handle 8 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 7 near one edge.

[0025] Specifically, the feed pipe 2 is located inside the connecting pipe 1, with its two sides fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 1 to form a seal. This allows the sauce to enter from both sides. Compared to the existing tubular feeding method from the bottom, this significantly reduces resistance and can handle sampling of relatively viscous materials, improving sampling convenience. During sampling, the feed pipe 2 carries a certain amount of gas, making it easier for viscous sauces to enter when extracting them. This greatly reduces sampling difficulty and improves sampling convenience compared to existing sampling structures. Before use, the movable plug 4 is a certain distance from the upper end of the feed pipe 2, storing a certain amount of air in the space between them. When the sampling point is reached, the connecting rod 5 is pressed down, causing the air to be expelled. This design allows for the ejection of any sauce that may enter the feed tube 2, ensuring that the sampled material is from the vicinity of the sampling point and improving sampling accuracy. The connecting rod 5 has an external thread, which allows it to rotate under the action of the directional handle 8 on the connecting plate 7. This movement of the connecting rod 5 raises the movable plug 4, increasing the driving torque and making it easier to lift the movable plug 4. At this point, the sample enters through both sides of the feed tube 2 and then through the material passage 3 into the connecting tube 1, thus completing the sampling process. Compared to existing tubular sampling structures, this design improves sampling speed, can handle sauces of different viscosities, offers good flexibility, and is more convenient to operate.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a connecting sleeve 9, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the middle position of the upper and lower sides of the end cover 6. The outer surface of the connecting rod 5 is provided with a threaded groove, and the connecting rod 5 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 9.

[0027] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 9 can limit the up and down adjustment of the connecting rod 5, thereby improving the stability of the connecting rod 5 during rotation and effectively ensuring that the connecting rod 5 remains perpendicular to the end cover 6 when rotating, so that the movable plug 4 can move smoothly.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a bottom plug 10, which is fixedly connected to the middle position surface of the lower end of the movable plug 4, and the bottom plug 10 is connected to the material through hole 3.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom plug 10 can seal the material passage 3 and extend into it, thereby allowing more gas to be discharged from the upper end of the feed pipe 2 after reaching the position. The specific length can be adjusted according to the requirements, but it is necessary to ensure that the feed pipe 2 still contains a certain volume of air to ensure that the material can enter smoothly.

[0030] Please see Figure 2As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a guide cone 11, which is connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe 1.

[0031] Specifically, the design allows the connecting pipe 1 to be inserted more easily into the fermentation tank of the sauce.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a gripping handle 12, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting disk 7 at the middle position.

[0033] Specifically, the gripping handle 12 facilitates pushing and pulling the connecting rod 5, and in some cases, the end cap 6 can be removed directly to achieve direct sliding extraction.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a scraper sleeve 13, which has a through hole in the middle and the edge of the through hole is bent downward, and the connecting pipe 1 can slide through the middle of the scraper sleeve 13.

[0035] Specifically, the scraper sleeve 13 can scrape off the sauce adhering to the surface of the connecting tube 1 after sampling, maintaining the cleanliness of the exterior, improving the convenience of cleaning, and meeting actual needs.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes connecting ears 14, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the scraper sleeve 13.

[0037] Specifically, the design of the connecting ear 14 makes it easier for people to grip and operate, improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes scale lines 15, which are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the connecting rod 5 near the upper end.

[0039] Specifically, the setting of scale line 15 makes it easy to visually observe the length that the connecting rod 5 needs to extend before sampling, which helps to ensure that a certain volume of gas is carried in, thus providing good convenience.

[0040] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
